The Farmers’ Almanac announced it has published its last issue, ending a 208-year run.
“It is with a heavy heart that we share the end of what has not only been an annual tradition in millions of homes and hearths for hundreds of years, but also a way of life, an inspiration for many who realize the wisdom of generations past is the key to the generations of the future,” said Almanac Editor Sandi Duncan.
Best known for its long-range weather predictions, the first edition of the Farmers’ Almanac rolled off the printing press in 1818. It provided readers with articles on ways to make living off the land more productive and successful. Since then, this annual book of wit, wisdom and weather has evolved into a well-recognized, nationally known print and digital brand that succeeded by publishing a unique blend of yesterday and today.
The Almanac stated that the decision to cease publication reflects the growing financial challenges of producing and distributing the Almanac in today’s chaotic media environment.
“We are incredibly proud of the legacy we leave behind and grateful to our loyal staff, readers, contributors and partners who have supported us through the years,” Duncan said. “Though the Almanac will no longer be available in print or online, its spirit will live on in the values it championed: simplicity, sustainability and connection to nature.”
The final edition of the Farmers’ Almanac (2026) is available for purchase on Amazon.com and in many stores. Access to existing digital content will be discontinued in December 2025.
